[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a combination of parents remembering how schools handled covid-it was hey kids teach yourself, you don't need to be in person, and the calendar. For years the schools have sent the message that regular attendance doesn't matter. [/quote]

Omg covid was ONE year of school. One. Many of the kids in school now weren’t even in school when covid happened! [/quote]

New to FCPS?

It was 2 full years, plus 2-3 years of recovery here.

Maybe not in your red state, but blue FCPS,was all in on covid school for years.[/quote]

It was NOT one full year. March - June 2020 = 3 months. Many schools went back in for optional hybrid in February 2021- June 2021. Everyone in this entire state was back in person August 2021. Some families CHOSE to remain online but even then it was NOT in any realm two full years. [/quote]

optional hybrid was still entirely online. [/quote]

My kid and his entire ES had the option of returning for 4 days a week, most of the school took that option. PLenty of HS and MS had 4 days a week as an option, mainly because so few kids took the initial hybrid option, 2 days in school, 2 days at home. Teachers reported kids in MS who ended up taking the ybrid option, which turned into 4 days a week, caught up on all grade level material and did quite well in school. Plenty of ES were able to offer 4 days a week in school. If you chose not to take the hybrid option and stayed online for the entire week, that is on you. Kids who went in 2days a week seemed happy and a good number of kids had 4 days a week in class.

Every school was different. My dc went back to school, but their teachers and some of their classmates stayed home and their classes were taught entirely online with laptops in the classroom with "monitors". This was for 3rd and 5th grade so wildly inappropriate.[/quote]
